Palace Natali - Dubrovnik

Overview

Other facilities

The unhurried pace gives you time to reconnect with your surroundings – or simply switch off. Start your day with a swim in the peaceful outdoor pool, flanked by manicured terraces, lavender borders and shaded stone paths. Stretch out on a sun lounger beneath the olive trees or unwind in the adjacent hydro-massage tub, where warm bubbles rise against the scent of pine on the breeze. There’s also a serene sauna tucked alongside the pool area, offering a quiet corner to let go of any lingering tension. If you’re keen to stay active, the fitness room features Technogym equipment in a space that feels more like a private studio than a traditional gym.

To restore both body and mind, you can book a tailored massage in the comfort of the treatment room – perfect after a day of exploring Dubrovnik or sailing around the Elaphiti Islands. If you're up for a bit of light-hearted fun, head to the game room, where you’ll find everything from billiards to board games in a relaxed setting. More immersive experiences are on offer, too, organised by the concierge – like exclusive private boat excursions with your own skipper, wine tasting in the Konavle Valley or discovering hidden beaches only accessible by sea. Whether you’re drawn to local culture or quiet natural beauty, the palace’s curated experiences allow you to explore at your own pace.

Back at the palace, the atmosphere remains intimate and grounded in local heritage. Stone courtyards and sun-dappled terraces provide space to unwind with a drink or a book, while the atmospheric Cabinet of Curiosities – Palace Natali’s cosy library lounge – invites you to delve into the island’s past. Here, you’ll find artefacts and stories that trace the threads of Dubrovnik’s rich history, offering a deeper sense of place to those curious enough to look. It’s this blend of stillness and storytelling that makes a stay here feel truly timeless.

Dining information

Dining at Palace Natali is a refined affair, set within a serene courtyard shaded by olive trees and fragrant citrus, or in the soft, atmospheric glow of the vaulted indoor dining room. Each evening, Restaurant Natali invites you to settle into an elegant, pared-back setting which allow the focus to fall squarely on the food. The menu champions creativity, blending local tradition with contemporary flair – expect elevated Dalmatian flavours, artistically plated and rooted in seasonal ingredients. Start with the Adriatic shrimp tartare with yuzu and avocado, followed by the slow-cooked veal fillet in truffle jus or hand-rolled pasta with Pag cheese and shaved black truffle. The wine list draws heavily from Croatia’s best boutique producers, offering thoughtful pairings for every dish.

Please note that reservations at this restaurant are essential to preserve its tranquil, intimate feel. While there’s no formal bar area, the restaurant’s sommelier and attentive staff will ensure your aperitif or digestif is perfectly suited to the mood. Whether you're enjoying a crisp Posip under the stars or ending your meal with a fig liqueur in the candlelit courtyard, you’ll find the atmosphere as carefully composed as the dishes themselves.
